“I guess you don’t really own a dog, you rent them, and you have to be thankful that you had a long lease.” Joe Garagiola ~ so sorry for your loss. Ditto ditto ditto to all the posts above. Bear was a very lucky dog to have you & Cowboy for his family and vice versa.

Sometime it is even hard to respond with a heavy heart, but as I look back, all of our dogs and pets have been wonderful to us. Most pets and all of ours have have given much more than we could ever give them. “Happy” our first dog was a great protector of our children and property and all he ever asked was love me and I will give you 10 times more back. Then “Bandit” was a good bird dog and very laid back, again love me or not and I will love you forever and he he did. “Bear” came to us as a very young and very energetic pup; he would love anyone and ask for nothing back. Great bird dog also and loved to play fetch so much one would have to stop playing or he would run himself until he would drop. All of our dogs have been the best listeners and love buckets anyone could every want. Loved them all and they all loved us!! Miss them all along with all our cats. Guess they are all together having a great time.
